AAC provides access to prestigious long and short-term study and training opportunities consistent with the Australia Awards Global Strategic Framework (2021-2024). AAC also delivers a range of activities that support achievement of the investment’s objectives, including:

3. On-award enrichment activities

Across the 2021/22 to 2023/24 financial years, AAC will also deliver the Building Human Capacity Pillar of the Mekong-Australia Partnership (MAP). A key aim of this investment is to build the human resource capacity of partner countries in the Mekong sub region (Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand), contributing to development, prosperity and resilience. A second aim of this investment is to provide opportunities for strengthening strategic partnerships with Australia, and for future men and women leaders and decision-makers in the sub region to be positively disposed to Australia.
